Morgan's DunDraCon 43 (2019) Adventures


I generally don't go to DunDraCon anymore because it's in the middle of ski season and the shuffler hates me. This year, I got into two games on Friday and nothing else the rest of the convention.

One funny thing, all the games in played in or ran were fan service games: The Prisoner, Game of Thrones, Star Wars.

Six of One
Friday Noon in 149 for 6 hr
System: Delta Green; 6 players

Game Content: Mature Themes

Welcome to the Village. You are No. 6. Or are you? There are five other Villagers who appear to be you. Can you trust them? Can you even trust yourself?

This game was The Prisoner game. I loved the props and ambiance. Got to do lots of No. 6-ish things and there were lots of references to the TV show.

I enjoyed it.




Beyond the Wall
Friday 6 PM in 381 for 6 hr
System: One Roll Engine; 6 players
GM: Gil Trevizo
Variations: Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire

Brynden Rivers, Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, has disappeared. The men of the Night’s Watch and the wildling women of Clan Bloodsister combine to find him Beyond the Wall.

This game was a Game of Thrones prequel, set before the books. Some of the things we ran into explained some of the things that weren't explained in the books. Cool, huh?

I had a lot of fun in this game.




Assault on Singularity Base

An amazing multi-table gaming experience! Your group is 1 of 6 Rebel teams attacking in a coordinated but desperate assault to eliminate the Imperium’s superweapon prototype. Six interconnected games.

Our last run of NOT-a-Star-Wars game. Thank goodness, we were getting tired of running this, though we're actually getting better and better at creating GM intrusions.

We were worried that we wouldn't get enough players since this is the 4th time we're running this in the Bay Area, but we filled all the seats and actually had to turn a way a few people on the waiting list.

We did have an AV failure, but we were allowed to use the Anime room for our presentation, so that saved the day. Thanks to Mark Schynert for fixing things for us at the last minute.
